Brimpts north mine mill. Two pits separated by a weir appear to have been used as stamps settling pits. The first, 1.6m wide by 4.2m long, would have collected the dense and coarse material whilst the lighter particles flowed into the second 2m by 2.4m long pit, the very lightest waste then overflowing into the tail-race channel. Grooves along the long sides suggest the pits were originally lined with wooden planks or possibly stone (bird + hirst).
